Card game to consolidate understanding of electronic systems
The role of smart sensors in our everyday lives is becoming increasingly fundamental. The Smart Sensor Communications topic focuses on what smart sensors are, how they are being used today and how they can be innovative in the future.
Students are introduced to some recent developments in using smart sensors in control systems. Many of these uses are in health care and other high-tech applications.
